Could a Zombie Apocalypse Really Happen??

According to the science laid out in the above video, yes a zombie apocalypse is totally plausible...given the right kind of virus that is.  However, it will more than likely involve the "rage" style zombies seen in 28 Days Later...meaning, we're totally screwed.

Walt Disney Company Buys LucasFilm; Plans New Star Wars Films

In a shocking turn of events earlier today, The Walt Disney Company has purchased LucasFilm Ltd. for $4.05 billion in cash and stocks.  The deal transfers the rights from sole owner, George Lucas, to Disney and includes the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises, LucasArts, Industrial Light & Magic and Skywalker Sound.

Disney also announced plans to release another new Star Wars trilogy in 2015, starting with Star Wars: Episode VII, and will look to release a new film every other year and then "go from there".

While a pretty big shocker to be sure, I'm actually not all that surprised (I know I know) given Disney's close ties to the Star Wars franchise, given it's presence at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida and Disney's Disneyland Park in California.

You can watch a video of the announcement below after the break, as well as read today's press release.

What do you think this surprising news?  Are you excited about a new trilogy or dreading another Jar Jar Binks fiasco?

Teaser Trailer for Iron Man 3

HOLY CRAP!  That's all I have to say after watching the first teaser trailer for Marvel's upcoming super hero flick, Iron Man 3.

"In Marvel's "Iron Man 3", brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man played by Robert Downey Jr., is pitted against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy's hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?"

Iron Man 3 is directed by Shane Black and stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Stephanie Szostak, James Badge Dale, Jon Favreau and Ben Kingsley.

Expect to see a lot more Iron Man leading up to it's US release on May 3, 2013.  You can check out the latest teaser, embedded after the break.  Be sure to let me know what you think of the film in the comments below.

Iron Man Themed Motorcycle

I don't have many details around who modified this ZXR9 Streetfighter, but it appears on the Spanish site, Tuneos.com.  You could totally see something similar to this eventually made into a toy at some point.

Oh, and expect to see the first trailer for Iron Man 3 sometime this month.

In the meantime, stay nerdy my friends.

First Trailer for Disney's The Lone Ranger

Disney has just released the first teaser trailer for their upcoming blockbuster, The Lone Ranger.  The film stars Johnny Depp as Tonto and Armie Hammer as John Reid, aka The Lone Ranger.

From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, comes Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films' The Lone Ranger, a thrilling adventure infused with action and humour, in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes.  

Native American spirit warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, a legend of justice -- taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.

The film also stars Tom Wilkinson, William Fichtner, Barry Pepper, James Badge Dale, Ruth Wilson and Helena Bonham Carter.

It's hard to get a feel if the movie will be good or not, but the scale of it look epic, on par with the Pirates of the Caribbean flicks.  Take a look at the trailer below and let me know what you think in the comments below.

Look for the The Lone Ranger to ride into theaters July 3, 2013.

Stay nerdy my friends.
